You should become a tattoo artist – learn – become an apprentice… learn the shop, work in SEVERAL shops. See good and bad. go to conventions.
Check out Paradise Tattoo Gathering – and learn learn learn!
Do not try to just open a shop – you might succeed but it will probably not be a very good one.
Best of Luck!

a formal apprenticeship is difficult – and requires living on ramen noodles!
You shoudl take any opportunity to learn from any one any time – even if it is part time tattooing.
Take all the info you can get – and keep drawing!
Drawing and painting is the key to become a good tattoo artist. Artist first – tattoo second!

Glad to hear you are playing with Dot matrix – easy / cheap substitute for a thermal copier!
Happy to hear how it works out for you – as far as making tattoo stencils goes!
